Bangladesh’s trade headaches grow, partners pile on pressure

Bangladesh is basically fumbling the bag with all its big trading buddies right now, and people who watch this stuff are saying the interim government screwed up some deals that are gonna haunt whoever takes over next. The country locked in some agreements with America that got China side-eyeing them, and they're paying way more for rice because things got weird with India.

The whole situation is messy because Europe is mad that Bangladesh promised to buy Boeing planes after already saying they'd get Airbus jets from France, and Japan wants the same sweet deal America got. One economist said the government rushed into long-term commitments without asking businesses what they thought, and the next elected crew is gonna have to clean up the mess from port contracts and other infrastructure deals that went sideways.
